So, devoid of a subject to blog about today, I’ve been allowed to write about Popeski’s new fangled anti-diet. This is essentially a weight-gaining, BMI increasing exercise. A 2700 daily calorie intake is the target, and sadly that can’t be achieved by gorging on Wispas and cheesecake.
This site explains the concept fairly well, but I was sidetracked slightly by the warning “This is not suitable for pregnant women.” – Do they need any help putting weight on in the first place, I thought the whole baby growing inside thing sorted that out? Not that a baby provides much nutrition, I guess, I’ve never eaten one.
Basically however, if done maturely it’s all good, but I have been reliably informed that the “special” milkshakes don’t taste very nice.
In other news, I finally found a subject for my book. Looks like it’s going to be fiction after all.

So today was my first proper chance at brainstorming ideas for my book. Enlisting the help of Popeski, we discussed a few ideas from the bizarre to the workable.
My idea of a writing a book about how hard it is to write a book was largely mocked, though it would have a decent chance at spawning it’s own sequel. It was pointed out however that I would have to think about what book I’d end up writing after all the thinking, should the first book have a productive ending. Confused yet?
The IT professional leading a double life had potential, though I’m not fond of writing fiction. Not that I can’t, I just prefer to write stuff fluidly off the top of my head, planning isn’t something I enjoy when writing. But still, we explored the possibilities of the conflict arising from this double life, and it was largely workable.
The final idea of the evening was converting one of Shakespeare’s plays into lolspeak. For some reason I chose Hamlet, thinking that would actually be easier than any of the others. Looking at Hamlet again I think I may have made a fairly bad choice. Currently this idea is winning, but it hasn’t exactly got much to compete against it.
Still, it’s a start, and we all have to start somewhere. At least the title of the blog is actually relevant now.
